Summer box office smackdowns

A look at the season's biggest face-offs By Todd CunninghamTheWrapSummer's head-to-head opening weekend battles at the box office are fun, even
if the comparisons don't necessarily make sense.When a family movie like "How to Train Your Dragon 2," for example, opens on
the same weekend as an R-rated comedy like "22 Jump Street," it's not as if they're competing
for the same moviegoers. The target audiences are different, their theaters
could be disproportionate, one could be in 3D -- all factors that make for
unfair fights, (It's not all about a film's first three days either, but that's
a different story.)Nonetheless, if they open on the same weekend, one movie is going to come out
on top and get the victor's buzz -- and one of them isn't.In that spirit, here's a looking at some of the blockbuster season's most
intriguing box-office face-offs. More on TheWrap: 49 Summer Movies on Our Radar: From
